@Hydromancerx Hey, was wondering what your current stance is on developing towards the vehicle IWBUMS? Are you waiting for it to go stable before looking into any conflicts in regards to that build, or is that something you have been working on already? Not saying that there are any major conflicts right now, but am curious as to what you're developing towards right now

No, that is not what i said What is currently in the game is not necessarily what would look best in the game, a lot more color should definitely be added in. I just think that the suggestions so far showing "realistic" color combinations will look out of place and needs to be considered with the game's aesthetic in mind.
For example, do you think that 30% of cars being BRIGHT blue, 20% of cars being hot red and 30% of cars being shiny white (while the remaining 20% are a variation of beige/brown/grey) is a good fit for this games overall look? I worry that they will stand out like a sore thumb.

Personally, I don't feel like you should be trying to be that "realistic" when it comes to vehicle colors. Zomboid has its own aesthetic and should focus on using colors that feel like they fit into the game. Although I do agree that more variety in vehicle colors would be lovely, forcing in tons of bright blue, red and white vehicles in just because "that was popular in america in the 90s" seems a bit silly Do what you think looks good @RobertJohnson instead of what is "realistic".

Same exact thing as happened to us. I'm thinking this + the containers flickering (which i'm failing at reproducing) may only occur in multiplayer with multiple people on the server. Will have to test that at some point.

Been trying to reproduce it for a while now by running my own servers ingame, but failing. It may have something to do with our other save being from 33.3 where the main problem appeared after the 33.4 patch was released. Perhaps a save conversion issue due to the world loot respawn change? Not sure though.

Hosted through the in-game host button. We live in different countries, where we ping about 40 to each other. No mods installed.
Also, the video Kim linked is the same thing we're experiencing, only we eventually also experienced those containers disappearing after they started flickering. Happens to most types of fridges/freezers, lockers and shelves (seems a bit random).

Started a new two-player MP game.
In addition to the issue of taking items out of shelves, certain containers now disappear completely when you walk next to them. You cannot see them, you cannot interact with them. Sometimes they reappear at certain angles but you still can't access them. So far this has affected certain bookshelves and kitchen counters. Our fridge also disappeared.
After restarting the server due to aforementioned containers being invisible, every container in the world reset and deleted all our items. Cars etc were still in the same spots, but all other items had been deleted. 850+ errors for both players upon rejoining the server.
Ground slots still don't work in multiplayer, as in - you can't see items someone else drops on the floor (just mentioning again because i can't remember if it was attempted fixed or not).
You can inflate car tires with no tools (not sure if intentional)
Vehicle speeds on grass should maybe be reconsidered, personally i feel they are tweaked way too low.
Can confirm trunks now work in MP.
Performance has improved, no major issues anymore.

- Bookshelves and some shelves don't refresh their list when you take an item out. You can only take an item out once. BUT if you transfer an item from the bugged container to yourself and also drag it into another container, it dupes.
- Some graphic flickering when interacting with shelves.

Started a new MP game:
- Had a strange issue where the car HUD disappeared and only thing that showed was the speedometer. Can't figure out if this was due to accidentally pressing some button on the keyboard or a bug, but we couldn't figure out how to get it back.
- Items still delete when taking them out of the trunk. Initially we thought this was fixed when we tested it as it seemed to be fine. Upon further testing this acted very strangely, where sometimes items would disappear a second after taking them out and other times they wouldn't. Sometimes only certain items got deleted while others got transferred just fine.
- Same thing happened when putting items on the floor and moving them over to inventory, some items got deleted when transferring.
- Corpses get deleted when picking them up and dropping them on the floor.
- Can confirm that mechanic books don't work.
- Performance wise it feels pretty good, except for some choppiness when driving fast or going into the center of towns (such as West Point). But general gameplay doesn't seem to have any major lag issues compared to before. I assume the stuttering is still linked to multi story buildings. Have yet to test performance in a longer game, will update.

I don't think many people use campfires honestly, hence why no one else has complained about it. You can just pick up ovens and antique ovens and put them wherever you want. Maybe this is a good time to explore new ways to survive?
Either way, RJ has obviously already added it to his to-do list. Posting about it 8 times does not help you.

Found a bug i reproduced consistently, where if you get in a car and get out without making sure you take the key out first/turn the engine off and another player gets in that car, the key deletes itself.
It would be far more practical if you would always keep the car key on you despite it being in the ignition, moving keys back and forth like that is bound to create issues. The amount of times I've forgotten to turn off the engine and lost the key because of the aforementioned bug is getting a bit silly
Keys in your keychain always go into your inventory after use (instead of your keychain).
The ground container is still broken in multiplayer. If you put items on the floor, other players can't see them.
Items still get deleted when taken out of a car trunk. Does not apply to car seats, they work fine.
It would be nice if you could unlock the trunk for other players to access.
The big road block/car crash between Muldraugh and West Point is extremely buggy, lots of vehicles humping each other, floating cars and flashing textures.

Happy to say driving feels a lot smoother now. 25 FPS in the center of west point now, up from 15 in last build. I am still suffering from "slow downs" every few seconds, but it has been getting better patch by patch (gets worse depending on graphics settings, v-sync off helps a lot).
edit: Also editing the ProjectZomboid64.json to allow higher ram usage also seems to help with freezes my friend was having.

Currently having an issue where my game is crashing every time i go here. Crashed 8 times so far, also tried going around, still crashing whenever i enter what i assume is a certain "chunk". Failed to reproduce this on a new server, this happened on a co-op server made last night:
https://map.projectzomboid.com/#0.5814057560825991,0.2995566942478363,1087.8587196467993

EDIT: Now also crashing whenever i try to go back where i came from, leaving the current area i'm in. I think i'm stuck. #GG

EDIT2: Restarted the server and could now leave the area, but then crashed again when going here:
https://map.projectzomboid.com/#0.6300932712620916,0.3037142654706737,524.6232251383102
EDIT3: Remaking a new multiplayer server now causes the game to crash within seconds. Validated game files, still happening.
The last message in console was (might be irrelevant):
1512061124033 DEBUG: ObjectsSyncRequest.receiveGridSquareObjects DELETE OBJ 2 H=308519746
1512061124034 DEBUG: ObjectsSyncRequest.receiveGridSquareObjects ADD OBJ 2 H=1843662856

Also bumped into an invisible object on the road here:
